The in-pt infusions gives you a much higher ending Ketamine level that will hopefully give you good pain relief.

I also have R foot/ankle CRPS. I am in Northern Va and am being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. My CRPS resulted from ankle surgery in May...then I developed a blood clot in the leg right before my nerve block was supposed to be done, so that is why we have gone right to Ketamine.

Have had PT, and have Dr's in Pain Management, Physical Medicine ( CRPS specialist), Foot & Ankle Surgery, Ortho surgeon and a Primary Care Dr.

I have had to fight to get every one of them to be aggressive about CRPS except for the specialist. She is going to try a different therapy on my foot & ankle called Neuroprolotherapy. They have used it on the Wounded Warriors with CRPS and have good success with pain reduction and remission of CRPS.

Wishing you the very best!!!!

Terri
Thanks for the info Terri!
Do you by any chance know if they even do the in-patient? If not, do you have a # I can call to get more info? Do I have to be military to go there? Thank you so much! I hope you can get yours to go into remission. Sounds like they caught yours early enough that it might. Take care!
